Conventional solid state reaction method is used for preparation of three different bulk samples. XRD measurement of the samples shows that a high percentage of high-Tc phase is determined. Superconducting critical transition temperature of the samples have been obtained from the curves of ρ-T and χ-T. Vickers micro-hardness are also calculated for all samples. Re-pelletization has a positive effect on structural, mechanical and superconducting properties of bulk samples.falseArticle10.1007/s10854-016-5728-210.1007/s10854-016-5728-22-s2.0-84989179700WOS:00039423260008417991803281573-482X
